Which is pretty much everything on aliexpress. If you stick to top rated sellers and read the reviews you'll be fine. I've bought a number of items from aliexpress without issues.
Check this out on takealot, http://takealot.com/og/v1/PLID41789393
Googled it and this seems to be the only other site that has the specs (I was hoping for a YouTube review):

Came across this cam (Viofo A119) -

Thoughts? 1440p capacitor dashcam with GPS for around a grand. Is there anything better for the price?
Edit
GPS module/dock is around R400 more. So ~R1400 in total excluding customs.

I've been wanting to buy this for quite some time now.
Maybe we can order them together to save on shipping and duties.
I found it on Banggood as well and they quite reliable.

Hey me too. Have also been looking into buying this unit for awhile now. Checked Banggood yesterday but it seems they don't do the GPS module for the A119. Also want to get the wiring module to connect it directly to the car.

OMG you can buy much cheaper than that from Gearbest. You can buy a 4K camera for about $ 30

So provide links and models not sarcastic comments, he asked for suggestions not for bickering.

The problem this dash-cam's in SA is the heat always either screws up the battery or the suction cup to the windscreen. It's like a race which will go first. (funny they call it a dash-cam as it's stuck to the windscreen).
I'm sorry you see it as sarcasm. That's not the definition of sarcasm BTW. Here you go...

There are dozens more dash cameras in the $ 20 - $ 30 range, but, if I was looking for a dash camera, I would rather go for a 4 K sports camera, which has menu functions to use as a dash camera...and then you can also use it as a sports cam

So, in essence, you can get a 4K UHD camera delivered for about R 600
